As the Miami Dolphins prepare to face the New York Jets in a pivotal Week 18 matchup, playoff implications loom large for both teams. The Dolphins, currently hanging on to their postseason hopes, need a win to secure their chance of playing in the playoffs. Head Coach Mike McDaniel emphasized the necessity of staying focused, stating, ‘We can’t afford to be distracted. This is a must-win for us.’ The Dolphins currently sit at 9-7, but various scenarios can affect their playoff seeding. A victory combined with losses from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans would guarantee their spot in the postseason. On the flip side, the Jets, who are playing for pride with a 4-12 record, aim to spoil their division rivals’ playoff aspirations. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich expressed his commitment to the team despite the odds, saying, ‘We’re going to fight and show up for this game. We owe it to ourselves and our fans.’ Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET at MetLife Stadium, and fans can catch the action on CBS. For those looking to stream, the game will also be available online.
